Need help/advice re:Two questions--hope you can point me in right =
direction. I live in a small town with really arrogant dealer (imagine =
that). Any advise would be really appreciated.
Need some help--first---is there supposed to be a light behind the temp =
display on the climate control panel?
There isn't one in mine---does that mean the controller is fried or is =
there a simple fix OR is there even a light there?
Yesterday I took my 500 to get the A/c checked. They said it was low on =
refrigerant and added 0.75 lbs of 134. The a/c now works fine but may =
have leak in evaporator the mechanic said.
The REAL problem thought is -- the ASR indicator light is on constantly =
now along with the check engine light. The mechanic said it came on =
when he started the car. It wasn't on when I dropped car off so I =
assume they must have done something either charging a/c or moving car.
It stars in 3rd gear and as manual says "it takes considerable effort" =
to move accelerator. The mb dealer says it's probably a "code" hung in =
system. Is there a layman's way to find that out and clear code or am I =
stuck sending car to dealer for extended (expensive) stay?
Hope someone can advise---
